Changing Seasons


This week, it's all about FW2012 or AW2012. It's like my brains got taken over by strangers and could only focus on the industry's jargon and nothing else. There's absolutely no space in my mind (now) to look at the events of Singapore Arts Festival. Soon, soon. (And oh, Hougang by-election? What's that? Who's running? WP rally? When?! I'm not voting. But would I eventually have to learn to cook to qualify as a voter even? Whatever. Will be too exhausted to sit down to Pecha Kucha too.)

One of my to-go labels for everything timeless and classic- RAOUL is chic epitomized. Their FW12 color palettes are lovely. Something for everyone. They've got the dark colors that I favor. The prints are subjective, depending on the taste of the individual. Fabrics stay conservative and dependable.

I was late for RAOUL's show, but still managed to slip in and join the friends who arrived earlier. They thought I might not make it. I thought there would be a chance I would skip it too, as work matters took priority. But as the day went on, it was clear I could make the show. The work portion ended relatively painlessly, and there was time for a swift change of clothes before whooshing into the Tent as a guest.

RAOUL is great, but a tad overpriced, don't you think? I can find similar - but cheaper (think Banana Republic) - online.

I like their palate for the coming season, the black and white with orange :)

notabilia: oh their prices have moved nearer to DKNY SG prices. :( I don't mind the workmanship and fabric used for RAOUL. Somehow, I don't wear BananaRepublic well. So it's still RAOUL for me. I do have soft spot for their designs.

supercoati: yes! those too. striking. Their SS collections are always a tad odd. They somehow do better in their AW pieces.
